The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a five-shot double-action revolver chambered for .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells. It has a 2.5-inch barrel, a 7.62-inch overall length and weighs 27 ounces unloaded. The frame is polymer with a Flat Dark Earth finish, the cylinder is matte black alloy steel, and the sighting uses a fiber optic front sight with an adjustable rear sight. A transfer bar safety and a Ribber grip complete the setup.

This is a short-barreled configuration for close-range carry and home defense, where one cylinder can take either .45 Colt or .410 loads. The spurred hammer and fiber optic sight suit a shooter who wants a quick sight picture at short distances. Handguns require buyers to be 21 or older under federal law, so the revolver is for adult shooters.
